Kaby Lake Hype Is real (Amazon India)

[Scitesh]

I  was looking for some party's and ran into amazon  India's  app sponsored page

Link

 

Here is a.question

why is Intel comparing Kaby Lake with 5  year old pcs

(I  made a hypothesis:  gains over skylake  are insignificant/marginal)

Also ponder over these  screenshots

The purpose of marketing is to hype people so they'll buy it, even if the performance gain is like only of 1% they'll advertise it "FASTEST SPEED EVER SEEN, NEVER IN THE PLANET HISTORY WE'VE SEEN THIS ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE!!" it isn't a lie since it really is that so though to those that lack knowledge about the subject it will be misleading.

Wait... whoa what. I figured they were just cropped desktop screenshots.

I  use a one plus 2  and use a custom ROM which allows to take  me long screenshots  similar to scroll shots on Windows

By the I would buy a  phone in this form factor :-)

why is it not showing off individual processors. or naming them. for example "ix xxxx"

Exactly. Kabylake will offer a few feature upgrades over Skylake, but the performance gain and the watt usage is like 2-3% better. Personally if you have a skylake there is no reason to upgrade. Would only make sense if you hadn't upgraded to Skylake, but were going to be upgrading from a older generation.

I mean even coming from haswell its not a particularly large performance difference.

I am on i7 3770k (I guess broadwell)

Would upgrade to  coffee lake  if they launch a 6 core on consumer platform      Z___

I had to upgrade from an i7 3770 to an i7 6700k to make a highly noticeable difference as per game benchmarks... CPUs seem to be getting better at a much slower rate than GPUs

You could've stayed with the 3770 and had.. 12% less performance. Coupled with the fact that Kaby lake is about 5% better than Skylake, it's not worth it at all.

which rom is it? what do you use to flash it?

Kaby Lake is very disappointing.  I was hoping for a little more than a re-brand and 200mhz overclock...  At least give us a few optimizations and 400mhz overclock FFS.

Kaby lake is  Intel's Fx9350/70

Mine is Oced to 4.4 so I am  golden fire the time being also I  noticed BF1  was running smoother on my PC than a  friend of mine( his system : 6700k+970

My system :3770k + 1070)

IPC gains are minimal, but the chips are shipping with higher clock frequencies - which means performance increase. 

 

OC'ers aren't going to benefit much, but others will.
